Training

To be involved in Amateur Radio and the world of radio listening you do not need a licence. This may seem a bit of a surprise but many Radio Amateurs start life as listeners, a skill which will become very useful to you in the future.

You may sometimes hear the term ‘Short Wave Listener’ (abbreviated to ‘SWL’) this is the title of a Non-licenced Radio Amateur. However if you wish to be involved in the exciting world of transmitting then you definitely need a licence. So how do you go about acquiring your licence?
